Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and information quality of YouTube videos on implant overdenture searched in two languages (Korean and English).
Materials and methods
Youtube, an online video sharing platform was searched using search terms in two different languages related to implant overdenture. A total of 120 videos were selected (60 videos for each search term), then the reliability and information quality of the videos were evaluated. Topic domain, DISCERN instrument, and JAMA benchmark were used to evaluate the reliability and information quality of the videos. Statistical analyses were performed by using the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test.
Results
Out of a total of 120 videos, the topic domain scores of 78 (65.0%) videos were evaluated as ‘poor’, and the DISCERN scores of 104.5 (87.1%) videos were evaluated as ‘very poor’ and ‘poor’. The Korean videos had significantly higher topic domain scores and DISCERN scores than the English videos (P < .05). 3.5 Korean videos and 4 English videos met the criteria for attribution of JAMA benchmark.
Conclusion
The reliability and information quality of YouTube videos on implant overdenture were low.
